Blended Learning Program
Combine Hands-On Training & Convenient Online Classes
Becoming a qualified HVAC/R Technician requires a combination of some classroom/traditional studying and plenty of hands-on shop experience.
The Blended Learning option allows you to complete the classroom learning portion of the program on your own time, entirely online.
How Does It Work?
Students in the Blended Learning Program visit the campus just 13 hours per week to complete the hands-on portion of their training; they complete the classroom sections on their own schedule from the comfort of home (or anywhere with a computer and high speed Internet access).
Even though you’re training online, you’re far from on your own. Brownson Blended Learning students have continual access to instructor support and online learning resources.
On-Campus/Hands-On Portion Training Schedules
Evening Option: Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, 5:40 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Both the Day & Evening Program options can be completed in 40 weeks.
Why Blended Learning
Blended Learning is a great option for individuals juggling work and family responsibilities, people who can’t easily commute to campus every day, and individuals who have difficulty concentrating in a traditional classroom setting.
- Save time & money on commuting
- Set your own schedule
- Learn at home or wherever and whatever time of day you want – as long as you stay on schedule
Blended Learning can be an excellent option for a lot of people, but isn’t for everyone. Managing your Online Learning requires self-discipline and time management skills.
TRUE Blended Learning
Many schools claim to offer a form of blended learning. When looking into a blended program, be sure to check for 2 important things:
- Does the program include enough opportunity for hands-on experience?
- Is the “online” portion really distance learning, or are there just some digitized resources, while it’s mostly a traditional classroom program with some tweaks?
We believe what we’ve developed at Brownson is truly unique in the HVAC/R field. A true, 50/50 blend of online and practical, hands-on training.
